        # pySPEDAS
        [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/spedas/pyspedas.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/spedas/pyspedas)
        
        pySPEDAS is an implementation of the SPEDAS framework in python. 
        
        The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis Software ([SPEDAS](http://spedas.org/wiki)) framework is written in IDL and contains data loading, data analysis and data plotting tools for various scientific NASA missions.   
        
        This package is designed to work with the libraries [cdflib](https://github.com/MAVENSDC/cdflib) and [pytplot](https://github.com/MAVENSDC/PyTplot).
        
        ### How It Works
        
        CDF files are downloaded from the internet to the local machine. 
        The data from these files is loaded into pytplot objects and can be plotted. 
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
        
        ### Install Python
        
        Python 3.5+ is required.  
        
        We recommend [Anaconda](https://www.continuum.io/downloads/) which comes with a suite of packages useful for science. 
        
        ### Install pyspedas
        
        To install pyspedas, open a command line and type the command:
        
        `pip install pyspedas`
        
        ### Upgrade pyspedas
        
        If you have already installed pyspedas, you can upgrade to the latest version using:
        
        `pip install --upgrade pyspedas`
        
        
        ## Running pyspedas
        
        After installation, please change the file `pyspedas/prefs.ini` and set `data_dir=C:\Datapy\themis` to a writable directory of your choice. This is the local directory where the CDF files will be saved. 
        
        To download CDF files for the Themis mission, use: 
        
        `import pyspedas`
        
        `pyspedas.load_data(mission, dates, probes, instruments, level, downloadonly)`
        
        For example: 
        
        `d = pyspedas.load_data('themis', '2015-12-31', ['tha'], 'state', 'l1', False)`
        
        ### Crib sheets
        
        Folder `examples` contains some crib sheets to get you started.
